What a Dolce Box is
The Dolce Box is a rigid box with a top handle, a removable shoulder strap and a padlock with a swivel closure. Inside there is a flat pocket and a pocket with a flap. The shape stays the same; the surface changes every season, which is why the Dolce Box is the bag collectors buy in more than one version.

Who the Dolce Box is for
It is an occasion bag. It holds a phone, a card and a lipstick, and it is carried by the handle at a wedding, a gala, a dinner. It is also the bag in the range closest to the house couture, Alta Moda, in the amount of hand work it takes.
Caring for a hard case
Wipe resin and wood with a soft dry cloth, keep the bag away from knocks and damp, and store it in its dust bag and box. Raffia should be brushed and kept dry.
